      I'm just trying to compare the strongest opposing arguments I can find. I pointed out Fuller's strongest point, and that you hadn't addressed it. I'll now go check the earth guy's paper to see if he addresses it, but feel free to keep insulting me on my way out.

      Your original tweet was to attack me for "conveniently" not quoting. You were told in no uncertain terms what a silly thing that was to say. Instead of owning up (and you still haven't) you shift the goalposts. Admitting errors is the price of admission to serious conversation.

      I said "selectively", not "conveniently". Readers can judge for themselves whether you selected Fuller's strongest point.

      And gleefully/pedantically dunked on two quotes selected from later in his thread, without addressing the point I highlighted. Will check whether @EduEngineer's post addresses it. Thanks for the link.

      Checked both of his posts. Neither addresses it.

      Once variants take over, you would not expect nearly as high a probability of emergence in that area. The first variant includes "winner polymorphisms" already, so there is much less escape pressure.

      In fact, this is evidence that variants do NOT easily happen at random.

      If vaccinations induce variants, then how did the four α/β/Γ/Δ variants all arise by Jan 6, and no comparable variants since then? On Jan 6 there had been <17m doses. 330X more doses since then. @ENirenberg @GidMK @michaelzlin @ydeigin does this make sense?pic.twitter.com/AN1Dgwc8eg

      Of course not. Whoever thinks vaccines are responsible for these novel variants just does not understand biology. Or even basic causality.

      Yes, total gibberish, but to be fair that's what I'd expect from this account

          Once a variant is selected that survives an environment, the selection pressure has dissipated. An initial branching toward those variants, then new equilibrium is exactly what we should expect.

          If you find a single statistical geneticist who says otherwise, I'll be a bit surprised. But for now, I recommend that you tumble a humble step back, and then move forward by contacting one [since you don't seem to trust me].
